Coming full circle.

Yesterday was an interesting day.  I cleaned house in the morning and then I had lunch at Cheddar's.  It was a luncheon in honor of Sarah Widiger.  She was a staff member at BCES.  She got an assistant principal position at a school in Denver.  It is such a good move for her.  I enjoyed catching up with all the folks at BCES.  Many folks told me that they really missed me and that it was such a loss by me being let go.  As I looked at my friends, I realized how blessed I am to be where I am.  Losing my job last year was truly one of the hardest things that has ever happened to me.  I honestly couldn't figure out why God allowed this to happen.  Teaching is not only my career, it is my passion.  I give it my all.  I felt that I did my absolute best.  Now I see that I had to be put in a better place.  I am so so very grateful.

In the afternoon, I visited Sue.  She is recovering well.  While visiting her, the nursing coordinator for D20 walked in.  I chatted with her about how four years ago I applied for a nursing position in the district.  I thought for sure I had that job, but I did not get it.  I couldn't figure out why.  I was devastated. A month later, I was asked to go to D49 and become a teacher.  This never would have happened if I had gotten the nursing job.  Yesterday, the coordinator looked at me and said "Why didn't we hire you? I think I must not have been in on that interview". I just smiled and said "It just wasn't meant to be".

Both of these incidences were so very hard for me.  In one day, God confirmed and assured me that he is in control and I am just where he wants me to be.
